Life and register readings

Selim Sırrı Efendi was born in Prijepolje (Prepol) in 1863/64 (AH 1280) into the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Prepol eski mal müdürü". The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

Selim Sırrı began work in Prijepolje in 1879/80, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1879/80, with Selim Sırrı as Mal ve Tahrirat birimleri stajyeri in Prijepolje, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1889/90. Alongside, the lists for 1889/90 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Görevin sona ermesi. Next came a return to Prijepolje from 1891 to 1895. Alongside, the lists for 1894/95 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Görevin sona ermesi.

Pay rose from 125 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to a peak of 270 in 1887/88, in Prijepolje, when 26 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, eight years of salary come to 19,020 kuruş, 49 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1894/95.

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.
