Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed Hayrullah Efendi began in Bosna; the father's occupation was "Tüccar kâtibi". Mehmed Hayrullah began work in Izmir (İzmir) in 1897/98 (AH 1315), on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1897/98, places Mehmed Hayrullah in Izmir as a policeman (Polis). Alongside, the lists for 1897 to 1903 give a second post, in Bozdoğan as Mahkeme-i Bidayet müstantik muavini.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1897/98 to 360 in 1900/01, the peak, in Bozdoğan, when 42 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1902/03.

Places in order of time
