Life and register readings

Born in Erzincan, Mehmed Sıdkı Efendi came from the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Erzurum İstinaf Mahkemesi Ceza Dairesi Reisi". The annual lists begin in 1878 (AH 1295), with Mehmed Sıdkı as tahrirat kalemi mübeyyizi and no place named, with a rise to Icra Memuru in 1880/81.

Pay rose from 117 kuruş a month in 1878 to a peak of 500 in 1880/81, as Icra Memuru, when 60 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1883/84.

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.
