Life and register readings

Born in Afyonkarahisar (Karahisar-ı Sahib) in 1844/45 (AH 1260), Süleyman Sırrı Efendi came from the İslam community. Süleyman Sırrı began work in Afyonkarahisar in 1868/69, at about 24. The first annual entry, for 1868/69, places Süleyman Sırrı in Afyonkarahisar, the birthplace, as Sancak tahrirat kalemi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1871/72. The annual lists then follow Süleyman Sırrı to Çal in 1872/73. Alongside, the lists for 1872 to 1876 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tahrirat kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1875 to 1878 give a second post, in Bolvadin as Tahrirat kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1877 to 1891 give a second post, in Afyonkarahisar as Liva temyiz mahkemesi cinayet kısmı mukayyidi.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1868/69 to a peak of 380 in 1872/73, in Çal, when 40 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 24 years of salary come to 81,480 kuruş, 68 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1890/91.

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.
