Life and register readings

The life of Süleyman Sırrı Efendi began in Rize in 1880/81 (AH 1298); the father's occupation was "Saray-ı Hümayun bahçıvan hademesi". Süleyman Sırrı began work in 1894/95, at about 14. The first annual entry, for 1894/95, names Süleyman Sırrı as Ebniye-i Seniyye Anbarı İdaresinde mülazemet, with no place.

The salary went from 120 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to 400 in 1898/99, the peak, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 300 kuruş. In all, six years of salary come to 19,560 kuruş, 67 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1900/01.

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.
