Life and register readings

Mehmet İzzet Efendi was born in Çorum in 1869/70 (AH 1286); the father's occupation was "Düyun-ı Umumiye memuru". At about 17, in 1886/87, Mehmet İzzet began work in Çorum. The first annual entry, for 1886/87, places Mehmet İzzet in Çorum, the birthplace, as Düyun-ı Umumiye kalemi stajyeri, where the entries run to 1889/90. The lists have no entry for 1887 to 1889. Alongside, the lists for 1889 to 1892 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Düyun-ı Umumiye memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1890/91 give a second post, in Milas as Sandık emini. The last posts were in Avanos in 1894/95 and Beypazarı in 1898/99. For 1895 to 1898 the lists have no entry. The lists give Infisal for 1891/92 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to a peak of 400 in 1898/99, in Beypazarı, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1898/99.
