Life and register readings

Mehmed Sırrı Efendi was born in Kizilhisar in 1835/36 (AH 1251). The first annual entry, for 1860/61, names Mehmed Sırrı as Meclis-i Muhasebe-i Maliye Mazbata Odası memuru, with no place. At the same time, from 1860 to 1864, the lists also place Mehmed Sırrı in Preveza (Preveze) as Kaza Muduru. Alongside, the lists for 1863 to 1869 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Kaza Muduru. The annual lists then follow Mehmed Sırrı to Arta (Narda) from 1870 to 1872. Alongside, the lists for 1871 to 1875 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Kaymakam. For 1875 to 1878 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1874/75 give a second post, in Izmir as Meclis-i Temyiz ikinci reisi. Next came Kırklareli from 1878 to 1880. Alongside, the lists for 1879 to 1882 give a second post, in Edirne as İstinaf Mahkemesi Ceza Dairesi reisi. The lists have no entry for 1882 to 1884. Alongside, the lists for 1881/82 give a second post, in Diyarbakır as Adliye Mufettisi. Alongside, the lists for 1881/82 give a second post, in Erzurum as Adliye Mufettisi.

The salary went from 2,000 kuruş a month in 1860/61 to 7,000 in 1881/82, the peak, as Adliye Mufettisi in Erzurum, when 98 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1903/04.
