Life and register readings

MUHAMMED SALİH EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1866/67 (AH 1283); the father's occupation was "Jandarma yüzbaşı". The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

At about 9, in 1875/76, MUHAMMED SALİH began work. Of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known, 29 started at 9 or younger. The first annual entry, for 1875/76, places MUHAMMED SALİH in Koy Sanjaq (Köysancak) as mal kalemi mülazımı. For 1876 to 1887 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1890/91 give a second post, in Kirkuk as Duyun-ı Umumiye mülazımı. Next came a return to Koy Sanjaq from 1897 to 1903. The lists have no entry for 1895 to 1897. Alongside, the lists for 1899/1900 give a second post, in Sulaymaniyah as Duyun-ı Umumiye memuru. The last entries, from 1902 to 1906, name MUHAMMED SALİH as Memlehe kâtibi, with no place.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to a peak of 400 in 1892/93, when 45 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1905/06.

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.
