Life and register readings
Hüseyin Ref’i Efendi was born in Burdur in 1848/49 (AH 1265); the father's occupation was "Hamamcı". At about 23, in 1872/73, Hüseyin Ref’i began work in Istanbul. The first annual entry, for 1872/73, places Hüseyin Ref’i in Istanbul as İstanbul Emaneti Tatbik Kalemi stajyeri, where the entries run to 1880/81. The lists have no entry for 1881 to 1891. Alongside, the lists for 1894 to 1897 give a second post, in Istanbul as İstanbul Emaneti İstatistik Kalemi memuru.
The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1873/74 to 1,200 in 1876/77, the peak, in Istanbul, when 82 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 15 years the salaries add up to 137,400 kuruş, 1.8 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1896/97.
