Life and register readings

MEHMED NURĠ EFENDĠ was born in Gaziantep (Antep) in 1873/74 (AH 1290); the father's occupation was "Asâkir-i Şâhâne binbaşısı". Work began in 1888/89, at about 16. The first annual entry, for 1888/89, names MEHMED NURĠ EFENDĠ as Halep Vilayeti Evkaf Kalemi memuru, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1889 to 1892. Alongside, the lists for 1893/94 give a second post, in Belen as Nüfus kâtibi.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 125 kuruş a month in 1892/93, when 8 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 4,500 kuruş, 31 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1894/95.
