Life#
Hacı Mustafa Nuri Efendi was born in Bilecik in 1860/61 (AH 1277). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman) and the nationality as Turkish.
Schooling recorded: Sıbyan Mektebi, with 4 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Arabic, with Kitabet; French, with Kitabet; Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Bilecik in 1874/75 (AH 1291). The official was then about 14 years old. The record gives 1 year of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 300 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1875/76, the official was about 15 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1875/76, shows Muhabere Memuru in Bilecik, with 300 kuruş a month. In 1883/84 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Bursa, with 380 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Bilecik). In 1884/85 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Mecca (Mekke), the salary going from 380 to 1,000 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Bursa). In 1887/88 the record shows 1. Müdür in Al Hudaydah (Hudeyde), the salary going from 1,000 to 1,500 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Mecca).
