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

Süleyman Sırrı Bey was born in Bosna in 1870/71 (AH 1287); the father's occupation was "Silahşorân-ı Hazret-i Şehriyârî". The personnel record dates the first work to 1891/92, after the first annual entry. The annual lists begin in 1884/85, with Süleyman Sırrı as Enderûn-ı Hümâyûn'a çerağ edilme and no place named. For 1885 to 1891 the lists have no entry. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1909/10.

The salary went from 50 kuruş a month in 1892/93 to 340 in 1899/1900, the peak, when 38 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 18 years of salary come to 67,080 kuruş, 73 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.

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.
