Life and register readings

MEHMED HĠLMĠ EFENDĠ was born in Antalya in 1870/71 (AH 1287). At about 16, in 1885/86, MEHMED HĠLMĠ EFENDĠ began work in Antalya. The annual lists begin in 1885/86, with MEHMED HĠLMĠ EFENDĠ as Telgrafhane mülazımı in Antalya, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1889/90. MEHMED HĠLMĠ EFENDĠ then moved back to Antalya from 1891 to 1894. The lists have no entry for 1894 to 1900. Alongside, the lists for 1893/94 give a second post, in Elmalı as Ziraat Bankası sandığı muhasebe katibi vekili. Alongside, the lists for 1901/02 give a second post, in Alanya as Mal Muduru, with a rise to Mal Muduru. The last post was in Niğde in 1903/04.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1888/89 to a peak of 540 in 1901/02, as Mal Muduru in Alanya, when 62 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 400 kuruş. 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.
