Mehmet Nuri Paşa

Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Mehmet Nuri Paşa began in Kütahya in 1849/50 (AH 1266); the father's occupation was "Kadı". Mehmet Nuri began work in 1872/73, at about 22. The first annual entry, for 1872/73, names Mehmet Nuri as Mülazım-ı sani, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1879 to 1882 give a second post, in Istanbul as Berlin Sefareti ateşemiliteri (İnfisal). The last entries, from 1882 to 1892, name Mehmet Nuri as a district governor (Kaymakam), with no place.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 10,000 kuruş a month in 1890/91, when 98 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1891/92.

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.
