Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi

Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi began in Gelibolu in 1862/63 (AH 1279); the father's occupation was "tütüncü". At about 16, in 1878, Hüseyin Hüsnü began work. The first annual entry, for 1878, names Hüseyin Hüsnü as Tahrirat Kalemi mülazımı, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1878 to 1881. Alongside, the lists for 1903 to 1910 give a second post, in Gelibolu as Mesalih-i Cariye Kâtibi, with a rise to Baskatip in 1905/06. The last entry, for 1910/11, names Hüseyin Hüsnü as Mal Muduru, with no place.

The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1881/82 to 900 in 1910/11, the peak, as Mal Muduru, when two in three paid officials earned less. In all, 29 years of salary come to 116,880 kuruş, 80 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1910/11.

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.
