They could have died from childbirth fever. It happened to my great grandfather's sister & her husband. The baby lived.

That's intriguing that it affected the husband. Didn't realise it was somewhat contagious. Piqued my interest enough to go and do some googling research.

You will find childbirth fever on google. In my case, the father died first. He was taking care of the mother & baby and running the farm.
