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 Süleyman Sıdkı Efendi began in Burdur in 1851/52 (AH 1268); the father's occupation was "Burdur Sancağı Defter-i Hakani Başkâtibi". Work began in Burdur in 1869/70, at about 17. The annual lists begin in 1869/70, with Süleyman Sıdkı as Merkez Tapu Kâtibi in Burdur, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1876/77. At the same time, from 1879 to 1908, the lists also place Süleyman Sıdkı in Burdur as Cinayet Mahkemesi Başkâtibi. For 1885 to 1899 and 1900 to 1905 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1907/08 give a second post, in Cebeli bereket as Defter-i Hakani Kalemi Başkâtibi. The last entry, for 1909/10, names Süleyman Sıdkı as Dördüncü Sınıf Defter-i Hakani Memuru, with no place. Entries spanning 42 years are rare, reached by fewer than 5 per cent of the 8,239 officials.

Pay rose from 175 kuruş a month in 1872/73 to a peak of 843 in 1883/84, in Burdur, when four in five paid officials earned less. The last 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.
