Life and register readings

MUHEMMET MUHRU BEG was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1848/49 (AH 1265), into the İslam community, and the father's occupation was "ilmiye mensubu (molla)". At about 18, in 1867/68, MUHEMMET MUHRU BEG began work in Istanbul, on a first salary of 330 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1867/68, with MUHEMMET MUHRU BEG as Tercüme Odası memuru in Istanbul, where the entries run to 1878. Alongside, the lists for 1878 to 1879 give a second post, in a post with no place named as şehbender. The lists have no entry for 1879 to 1897. The last post was in Istanbul again in 1897/98. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1878/79.

The salary went from 330 kuruş a month in 1867/68 to 950 in 1878, the peak, when 77 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 14 years pay ended below where it began, 0 kuruş against 330. The final annual entry is for 1897/98.
