Life and register readings

Hüseyin Sabri Efendi was born in Taşköprü in 1870/71 (AH 1287). The annual lists begin in 1896/97, with Hüseyin Sabri as Mecidiye tahsilat, tenzifat ve duhhane memuru in Taşköprü, the birthplace. Next came Çerkeş from 1898 to 1900. Alongside, the lists for 1899 to 1903 give a second post, in Boyabat as Ziraat Bankası Sandığı Meclis Kitabeti refakati. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1896/97.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1896/97 to a peak of 500 in 1902/03, in Boyabat, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over seven years the salaries add up to 22,200 kuruş, 64 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1902/03.

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.
