Content exists at http://www.bletchleyparkresearch.co.uk/category/margaret-rock/ to use, the quotes from http://www.nominet.org.uk/news/blog/meeting-bletchley-women are especially interesting, albeit not very encyclopedic

"I loved a quote recited at the event from Albert ‘Dilly’ Knox; “Give me a Rock and a Lever and I can accomplish anything”. He was referring to Margaret Rock and Mavis Lever who worked for him. Margaret was described as “the fourth or fifth best of the whole Enigma staff and quite as useful as some of the professors,” yet was only ever referred to as a ‘linguist’, never a code breaker."

Additionally, letters from her life were published in a book called "Dear Code Breaker"
