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

Life and register readings

Süleyman Sıdkı Efendi was born in Gelibolu in 1874/75 (AH 1291); the father's occupation was "kahveci". The first annual entry, for 1890/91, names Süleyman Sıdkı as Tahrirat Kalemi katibi, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1893 to 1897. At the same time, from 1909/10, the lists also place Süleyman Sıdkı in Gelibolu as terfi.

Pay rose from 25 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to a peak of 500 in 1900/01, as Reji Memuru, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 15 years of salary come to 51,756 kuruş, 67 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.

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.
