Life and register readings

Born in Bursa in 1856/57 (AH 1273), Mehmed Hayreddin Efendi came from the İslam community. Work began in 1875/76, at about 18, on a first salary of 30 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1875/76, with Mehmed Hayreddin as mülga divan-ı mübeyyizlik refakati and no place named. For 1879 to 1882 the lists have no entry. The annual lists then follow Mehmed Hayreddin to Ertugrul in 1892/93. The lists have no entry for 1893 to 1896. The last entries, from 1896 to 1904, name Mehmed Hayreddin as bidâyet mahkemeleri ceza da’iresi riyaseti, with no place. The lists give Infisal for 1885/86 and Azil (dismissal) for 1888/89 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 30 kuruş a month in 1875/76 to a peak of 1,620 in 1903/04, when 91 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 20 years of salary come to 136,920 kuruş, 1.4 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. Pay rose to 54 times the first salary; fewer than 4 per cent of the 2,724 officials paid for ten years or more rose as far. The last annual entry is for 1903/04.

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.
