İhsan Efendi

Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of İhsan Efendi began in Harput in 1875/76 (AH 1292); the father's occupation was "Mısırlı Zeynep Hanım Efendi'nin harem kethüdası". At about 16, in 1890/91, İhsan began work in Hama, on a first salary of 80 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1890/91, with İhsan as Ordu Levazım Dairesi ikinci şube mülazımı in Hama, where the entries run to 1893/94. Alongside, the lists for 1893 to 1910 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Hastahane kâtib-i sânisi (dördüncü sınıf).

The salary went from 80 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to 800 in 1909/10, the peak, when 61 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 20 years the salaries add up to 101,568 kuruş, about what an official on the median salary earned. The final 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.
