Life and register readings

Born in Sivas in 1860/61 (AH 1277), Mehmet Şükrü Efendi came from the İslam community. Mehmet Şükrü began work in 1876/77, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1876/77, with Mehmet Şükrü as stajyer and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1879 to 1896. Mehmet Şükrü then moved to Suşehri in 1896/97. Alongside, the lists for 1896 to 1898 give a second post, in Erbaa as Mal Muduru. Next came Kangal from 1899 to 1902. Alongside, the lists for 1901 to 1903 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Mal Muduru. For 1903 to 1907 the lists have no entry. The last post was in Merzifon in 1907/08.

Pay rose from 10 kuruş a month in 1878 to a peak of 540 in 1899/1900, as Mal Muduru in Kangal, when 64 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1907/08.
