Life and register readings

Born in Burdur in 1868/69 (AH 1285), Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi (H. 1285 / M. 1868-1869) was the child of a tanner (debbağ). Hüseyin Hüsnü (H. 1285 / M. 1868-1869) began work in Burdur in 1885/86, at about 17, on a first salary of 54 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1885/86, places Hüseyin Hüsnü (H. 1285 / M. 1868-1869) in Burdur, the birthplace, as Tahrirat Kalemi mukayyidi, where the entries run to 1897/98. The lists have no entry for 1889 to 1894 and 1898 to 1906. The annual lists then follow Hüseyin Hüsnü (H. 1285 / M. 1868-1869) to Tekirdağ in 1906/07. Alongside, the lists for 1909/10 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nüfus memurluğu (görev bağlantısı belirsiz).

Pay rose from 54 kuruş a month in 1885/86 to a peak of 600 in 1907/08, when 61 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 500 kuruş. Over five years the salaries add up to 18,048 kuruş, 65 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.

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.
