Life and register readings

MUHAMMED SALİH EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1857/58 (AH 1274); the father's occupation was "Hacı (Bahram Ağa)". At about 15, in 1872/73, MUHAMMED SALİH began work in Kirkuk, on a first salary of 250 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1872/73, with MUHAMMED SALİH as Muhasebe kalemi mülazımı in Kirkuk, the birthplace. Alongside, the lists for 1878/79 give a second post, in Şanlıurfa as Eytam sandığı muhasebe rüyeti. Alongside, the lists for 1878 to 1880 give a second post, in Rumkale as Muhacirin iskân memuru. The annual lists then follow MUHAMMED SALİH to Maarat al-Numan in 1881/82 and Aleppo in 1882/83. Alongside, the lists for 1882/83 give a second post, in a post with no place named as a tithe official (Aşar Memuru), with a rise to Aşar Memuru. Next came Şanlıurfa, Bilan and Raqqa (Rakka) from 1883 to 1887. Alongside, the lists for 1886/87 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Mal Muduru. MUHAMMED SALİH then moved to Aleppo in 1887/88. Alongside, the lists for 1891 to 1893 give a second post, in Aleppo as Muhasebe kalemi varidat kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1891 to 1893 give a second post, in Şanlıurfa as Ağnam müfettişi.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1874/75 to a peak of 1,100 in 1897/98, in Aleppo, when 86 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.
