The most we can do is make an educated guess. For mine, it is that they are the offspring of Mufasa and a Pridelander, they were born around about the same time as Simba (in a pride, when one lioness goes into heat, all capable go into heat also, meaning that the cubs would have to be born soon before/after the young prince), and that they were most likely killed after Scar took the throne. However, there is a more optimistic outlook; the cubs and their mothers could have fled after Scar's eulogy and returned after Simba became king, which explains why the grown-up cubs and adults are absent from the Battle of Pride Rock AND why, in Simba's Pride, there are more lionesses.
