Life and register readings

Salih Sıdkı Efendi was born in Bursa in 1844/45 (AH 1260) into the İslam community. Work began in 1874/75, at about 30, on a first salary of 750 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1874/75, with Salih Sıdkı as Kal'a-yı sultaniye ve Travnik ve Üsküp mümeyyizliği; mümeyyiz and no place named. For 1883 to 1887 the lists have no entry.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 750 kuruş a month in 1874/75, when 70 per cent of paid officials earned less. After 23 years the salary stood below the first, 532.5 kuruş against 750. In all, 23 years of salary come to 122,556 kuruş, about what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1900/01.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
