Mehmet Salih 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 Mehmet Salih Efendi began in Silistra (Silistre); the father's occupation was "topçu yüzbaşı (Çatalca istihkamatı memuru)". Mehmet Salih began work in Adapazarı in 1883/84 (AH 1301). The annual lists begin in 1883/84, with Mehmet Salih as vergi kalemi mülazımı in Adapazarı, where the entries run to 1885/86. For 1886 to 1889 the lists have no entry. Mehmet Salih then moved to a post with no place named from 1889 to 1899. The lists have no entry for 1890 to 1894 and 1899 to 1908. The last posts were in Denizli in 1908/09 and Aydın in 1910/11.

The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to 1,200 in 1910/11, the peak, in Aydın, when 76 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.

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.
