Life and register readings

MUHAMMED EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1853/54 (AH 1270); the father's occupation was "Mütefevvi". The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

Work began in Kirkuk in 1873/74, at about 19. The first annual entry, for 1873/74, places MUHAMMED in Kirkuk, the birthplace, as Muhasebe kalemi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1897/98. The lists have no entry for 1874 to 1895 and 1898 to 1902. From 1902 to 1905 the annual entries place MUHAMMED in Erbil.

Pay rose from 165 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to a peak of 425 in 1902/03, in Erbil, when 51 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 20,880 kuruş, 70 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1904/05.
