Life and register readings

The life of İbrahim Fehmi Efendi began in Babadağ in 1869/70 (AH 1286). İbrahim Fehmi began work in Aleppo (Halep) in 1884/85, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1884/85, with İbrahim Fehmi as Halep Vilayeti Aşar Nezareti Kalemi mülâzımı in Aleppo. Alongside, the lists for 1885/86 give a second post, in Gaziantep as Aşar ikinci kâtibi. The annual lists then follow İbrahim Fehmi to a post with no place named from 1886 to 1891. Alongside, the lists for 1887 to 1894 give a second post, in Aleppo as Ticaret Mahkemesi zabıt kâtibi. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1888/89.

Pay rose from 320 kuruş a month in 1885/86 to a peak of 750 in 1893/94, in Aleppo, when three in four paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1893/94.
