Bissett kids born B'ham 1887, '89 & '90

[JohnS]

in the 1901 census, 3 children of my then deceased maternal grandfather are shown living in Worthing with their widowed mother (Ellenor ?sp?) , but all born in Birmingham and (in 1901) aged 14 (Francis William, so born 1887?); aged 12 (James Stanley, so born 1889?); and aged 11 (Dorothy Eleanor ?sp?, so born 1890?)

Can you find anything from the births register about their father ?
