[5] His father George moved to take up a new post in the Carriage and Wagon works of the Eastern Counties Railway (ECR) at Stratford, Essex seemingly at some point in or before 1846.

[8][a] Martin Atock, some 10 years older than Frederick, entered the employ of the ECR about 1848 and left to Ireland in 1861 in to take up positions of locomotive superintendent firstly at the Waterford and Limerick Railway and subsequently at the Midland Great Western Railway.

[9] Frederick was apprenticed to his father in 1860, just before the ECR merged with smaller companies to become the Great Eastern Railway (GER) in 1862.

[13] Attock next presented a 6-wheeled invalid coach with an open interior for wheelchairs and bed at the Royal Jubilee Exhibition in Manchester the following year.

[14][15] Attock apparently been on the opposite side of a family rift with Martin, but with the help of Hephzibah there was a reconciliation in 1891.

Tensions seem to have arisen to a head approaching 1892 with the club severing all connections with the LYR and becoming a limited company.
