Life and register readings

Born in Baghdad (Bağdat) in 1862/63 (AH 1279), MUHAMMET NURİ EFENDİ came from the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Redif alay kâtibi". At about 21, in 1883/84, MUHAMMET NURİ began work in Baghdad, on a first salary of 225 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1883/84, names MUHAMMET NURİ as Aşar kavul muharriri, with no place, with a rise to Anbar memuru in 1889/90. The lists have no entry for 1887 to 1889 and 1894 to 1896.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to 600 in 1908/09, the peak, when 61 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1908/09.

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.
