Life and register readings

The life of SÜLEYMAN SIRRI EFENDİ (B) began in Tirana (Tiran) in 1869/70 (AH 1286). The annual lists begin in 1887/88, with SÜLEYMAN SIRRI (B) as Nüfus kâtibi in Tirana, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1889/90. SÜLEYMAN SIRRI (B) then moved to Krujë (Akçahisar) from 1894 to 1896. For 1891 to 1894 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1895/96 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nizamiye 10. Liva Tahrirat Kalemi görevlisi. The last posts were in Lezhë in 1896/97 and Shijak (Şiyak) in 1900/01. The lists have no entry for 1897 to 1900.

Pay rose from 125 kuruş a month in 1887/88 to a peak of 240 in 1894/95, in Krujë, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, seven years of salary come to 16,020 kuruş, 46 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1900/01.
