Life and register readings

The life of MUHAMMED BEHCED EFENDİ began in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1872/73 (AH 1289); the father's occupation was "Amare bidayet mahkemesi müddei-i umumi muavini". MUHAMMED BEHCED began work in 1890/91, at about 18, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1890/91, names MUHAMMED BEHCED as tahrirat kalemi mübeyyizi, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1897 to 1900 and 1906 to 1910. The last post was in Basra in 1910/11.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to a peak of 1,000 in 1910/11, in Basra, when 67 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.

Places in order of time
