Life and register readings

Born in Ibb (İbb) in 1875/76 (AH 1292), Mehmed Ali Efendi came from the İslam community; the father's occupation was "İbb müftülüğü memuru". At about 21, in 1896/97, Mehmed Ali began work in Ibb, on a first salary of 250 kuruş. From the first annual entry, for 1896/97, to 1910/11, every annual entry places Mehmed Ali in the same post, İbb Mahkemesi Şahidü'l-Hükkâmlığı, in Ibb, the birthplace.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1896/97 to a peak of 400 in 1910/11, in Ibb, when 31 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 15 years of salary come to 46,800 kuruş, 60 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.
