Life and register readings
The life of Mehmed Ökkeş Efendi began in Kilis in 1876/77 (AH 1293); the father's occupation was "Tabur kâtibi". Mehmed Ökkeş began work in Şanlıurfa (Urfa) in 1895/96, at about 19, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1895/96, with Mehmed Ökkeş as Ziraat Bankası şubesi muvakkat kâtibi in Şanlıurfa, where the entries run to 1903/04. Alongside, the lists for 1902 to 1908 give a second post, in Birecik as Ziraat Bankası sandığı muhasebe kâtibi vekili. Alongside, the lists for 1907 to 1910 give a second post, in Acre as Ziraat Bankası sandığı muhasebe kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1909/10 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Evkaf-ı Hümayun Nezareti muhasebe idaresi birinci sınıf kâtibi. Next came Üsküdar from 1911 to 1912. Alongside, the lists for 1911/12 give a second post, in Beyoğlu as Evkaf idaresi meclis memuru.
Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to a peak of 1,500 in 1911, in Üsküdar, when 73 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1911/12.
