Hello, my great great grandparents lived in Denmark (Niels Andreas Jensen and Kristine Marie Jensen). They had 11 children in 1894 three of the young children died in about 1 weeks time

Was there an epidemic then, if so what was it? Thank you!

    Per Wikipedia, there was an 1889-90 pandemic of Asiatic or Russian influenza. There were recurrences in 1893-94. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1889%E2%80%931890_pandemic https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3867475/
