Life and register readings
The life of Mehmed Efendi began in Silifke in 1860/61 (AH 1277). Mehmed had a first salary of 150 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1883/84, with Mehmed as Kurayla askerlik and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1884 to 1888. Next came a return to Silifke, the birthplace, from 1888 to 1895. Alongside, the lists for 1894 to 1900 give a second post, in Anamur as Düyun-u Umumiye memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1899/1900 give a second post, in Yumurtalık as Düyun-u Umumiye Memuriyeti Milli Kitabet Kantarcılığı.
Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1888/89 to a peak of 400 in 1894/95, in Anamur, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1899/1900.
