Life and register readings

İshak Sıdkı Efendi was born in Burdur in 1871/72 (AH 1288). At about 14, in 1884/85, İshak Sıdkı began work in Burdur. The first annual entry, for 1884/85, places İshak Sıdkı in Burdur, the birthplace, as Tahrir Vergi Kalemi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1893/94. Alongside, the lists for 1893 to 1903 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Çeltikçi Çiftlikât-ı Hümayun kâtip muavini.

Pay rose from 140 kuruş a month in 1888/89 to a peak of 250 in 1889/90, in Burdur, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, seven years of salary come to 19,680 kuruş, 58 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1902/03.

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.
