Life and register readings
Mehmet Efendi was born in Bandırma in 1849/50 (AH 1266); the father's occupation was "Sefine reisi". At about 37, in 1886/87, Mehmet began work in Bandırma, on a first salary of 285 kuruş. Fewer than 5 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known began work at 37 or older. The first annual entry, for 1886/87, places Mehmet in Bandırma, the birthplace, as Reji Müdürlüğü muhafaza katibi, where the entries run to 1888/89. The last post was in Bigadiç in 1889/90.
Pay rose from 285 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to a peak of 300 in 1889/90, in Bigadiç, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over four years the salaries add up to 13,860 kuruş, 72 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1889/90.
