Life and register readings

Born in Afyonkarahisar (Karahisar-ı Sahib) in 1848/49 (AH 1265), SÜLEYMAN SIRRI EFEND İ came from the İslam community. The annual lists begin in 1868/69, with SÜLEYMAN SIRRI İ as Tahrirat-ı Emlak Kalemi mukayyidi in Afyonkarahisar, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1871/72. SÜLEYMAN SIRRI İ then moved to Çal in 1872/73. Alongside, the lists for 1872 to 1876 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tahrirat katibi. Alongside, the lists for 1875 to 1878 give a second post, in Bolvadin as Tahrirat katibi. Alongside, the lists for 1877 to 1891 give a second post, in Afyonkarahisar as Mahkeme-i Temyiz Cinayet Kısmı mukayyidi. For 1880 to 1890 the lists have no entry.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1868/69 to a peak of 380 in 1872/73, in Çal, when 40 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 13 years of salary come to 49,080 kuruş, 73 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1890/91.

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.
