Katie and George had seven children, four boys and three girls. After the birth of Geoffrey in 1876 and Evelyn in 1877, they named their third child, who was born the following year, Alan. He died at a very young age and Katie, being superstitious, decided that all their children from that time on would have a "y" in their name. Ronald Aylmer Fisher was the second of twins, but the older twin was still-born. In 1904 Ronald entered Harrow, but this was a difficult time for the fourteen year old boy, for his mother died in that year of acute peritonitis. Despite this, he excelled at Harrow winning the Neeld Medal in 1906 in a mathematical essay competition open to the whole school. Fisher was awarded a 80 scholarship from Caius and Gonville College, Cambridge, which was necessary to finance his studies since his father had lost his fortune. In October 1909 he matriculated at Cambridge.
