Life and register readings

MUHAMMED REŞİD BEG was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1857/58 (AH 1274) into the İslam community. The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

Work began in 1871/72, at about 14. The first annual entry, for 1871/72, places MUHAMMED REŞİD BEG in Kirkuk, the birthplace, as tahrirat kalemi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1880/81. The annual lists then follow MUHAMMED REŞİD BEG to Al-Shatrah (Şatra) from 1881 to 1884. Alongside, the lists for 1883 to 1891 give a second post, in Baghdad as meclis-i idare kalemi katibi. The lists have no entry for 1886 to 1889.

Pay rose from 60 kuruş a month in 1871/72 to a peak of 485 in 1890/91, in Baghdad, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 17 years of salary come to 49,140 kuruş, 58 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.
