Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Mahmud Hulusi Efendi began in Didymoteicho (Dimetoka) in 1874/75 (AH 1291). The annual lists begin in 1892/93, with Mahmud Hulusi as Gönüllü asker and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1899 to 1903. Mahmud Hulusi then moved to Edirne in 1903/04. Alongside, the lists for 1903 to 1907 give a second post, in a post with no place named as İkinci Fırka mesah memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1905 to 1907 give a second post, in Üsküdar as Nahiye kâtibi.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1903/04 to a peak of 400 in 1904/05, when 42 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1906/07.

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.
