Are these the deaths you mean?

If so, they didn't all die in one event.
The obvious way to find out the cause of death would be to buy the death certs.
On the GRO website, you can get PDF copies for £6 each.

What was their relationship to each other?

If I've found the right people in 1901, they don't even seem to be living together.

So, going back to the 1902 deaths -

young George was Eliza's grandson.

How does Samuel fit in?

Well, anyway, to answer your question, the causes of death will be on the death certs.
On the face of it, it looks like just a sad coincidence that they all died in the same year.
