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 Şükrü Efendi began in Tosya in 1881/82 (AH 1299). Mehmet Şükrü began work in 1895/96, at about 14. The annual lists begin in 1895/96, with Mehmet Şükrü as Bidayet Mahkemesi Kalemi stajyeri and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1899 to 1902. The annual lists then follow Mehmet Şükrü back to Tosya, the birthplace, from 1902 to 1910. Alongside, the lists for 1903/04 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Mal Sandığı emini. Next came Kastamonu and İnebolu from 1909 to 1911. Alongside, the lists for 1911 give a second post, in Tosya as Evkaf Memuru.

Pay rose from 360 kuruş a month in 1903/04 to a peak of 500 in 1910/11, in İnebolu, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1911.

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.
