The first thing that came to mind is that they were both carried away by water, so that they have no known final resting place in Middle Earth.

But since then you've given us further hints: focus on those close to them, and "social status." Let me think a bit about it.

Edit: They were both orphans and/or their fathers both drowned?

(Nienor's father Húrin Thalion killed himself by throwing himself into the sea, her mother Morwen Eledhwen was lost in a dragon attack; Frodo's father Drogo Baggins drowned in a boating accident along with Frodo's mother Primula).
