Life and register readings

Mehmed Nuri Efendi was born in Baghdad (Bağdat) in 1874/75 (AH 1291). The first salary was 50 kuruş a month. The annual lists begin in 1894/95, with Mehmed Nuri as Altıncı Ordu-yı Hümayun Levazım Dairesi Birinci Şubesi mülazemeti and no place named. In place of a title the lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1893/94 and 1897/98.

The salary went from 80 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to 300 in 1897/98, the peak, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 6,480 kuruş, 32 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1897/98.

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.
