Mehmed Sabri Efendi was born in Ohrid (Ohri) in 1873/74 (AH 1290); the father's occupation was "Tütün Fabrikası memuru". Work began in Ohrid in 1887/88, at about 15. The annual lists begin in 1887/88, with Mehmed Sabri as Nüfus Kalemi stajyeri in Ohrid, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1892/93. The lists have no entry for 1888 to 1892. The last posts were in Pogradec in 1894/95 and Ohrid again in 1895/96.
