Life and register readings

İsmail Fevzi Efendi was born in Mecca (Mekke) in 1884/85 (AH 1302); the father's occupation was "Hicaz Vilayeti kavası". Work began in Mecca in 1903/04, at about 18. The annual lists begin in 1903/04, with İsmail Fevzi as Telgrafhane mülazımı in Mecca, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1905/06. Alongside, the lists for 1904 to 1906 give a second post, in Hafire as Telgraf ve posta muhabere memuru.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 800 kuruş a month in 1904/05, in Hafire, when 76 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1905/06.

Places in order of time
