Life and register readings

MEHMED ŞÜKRÜ EFENDİ was born in Komotini (Gümülcine) in 1870/71 (AH 1287); the father's occupation was "Gümülcine Rüsumat memuru". Work began in Komotini in 1889/90, at about 19. Every annual entry from 1889/90 to 1892/93 places MEHMED ŞÜKRÜ in the same post, Muhasebe Kalemi mülazımı, in Komotini, the birthplace. The lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1892/93 instead of a title.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 100 kuruş a month in 1890/91, in Komotini, when 5 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 3,600 kuruş, 25 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1892/93.
