Life and register readings

Born in Komotini (Gümülcine) in 1857/58 (AH 1274), Seyyid Hasan Efendi was the child of a medrese teacher (müderris). At about 22, in 1879/80, Hasan began work in Komotini. The annual lists begin in 1879/80, with Hasan as Ticaret Mahkemesi mülazımı in Komotini, the birthplace. Alongside, the lists for 1879 to 1882 give a second post, in Sultanyeri as Vergi tezkereleri yazım memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1881 to 1891 give a second post, in Xanthi as Vergi Kitabeti refakat memuru. For 1891 to 1895 the lists have no entry. Next came Komotini from 1895 to 1898. Alongside, the lists for 1897 to 1900 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Vergi kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1899 to 1902 give a second post, in Xanthi as Vergi Kitabeti refakat memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1900 to 1902 give a second post, in Sultanyeri as Vergi kâtibi.

The salary went from 140 kuruş a month in 1879/80 to 500 in 1900/01, the peak, in Sultanyeri, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1901/02.
