It's hard to say because the records of their deaths do not show the cause of death. In cases where there is some record of a plague outbreak in the town, plague might have been the cause of death. Three of Shakespeare's four sisters died in infancy, the first two before he was born. All three of them may have died of the plague. The only one to survive was called Joan (she had the same name as the Shakespeares' first baby) and lived a very long life, outlasting all four of her brothers.
