Life and register readings

Süleyman İhsan Bey was born in Gelibolu. Work began in 1878 (AH 1295), on a first salary of 50 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1878, names Süleyman İhsan as Tahrirat Kalemi memuru, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1878 to 1880, 1884 to 1889 and 1890 to 1903. In place of a title the lists give Vefat (death) for 1907/08.

Pay rose from 50 kuruş a month in 1878 to a peak of 450 in 1903/04, when half the paid officials earned less. Over ten years the salaries add up to 36,840 kuruş, 73 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1907/08.

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.
