Margaret Dampier Anderson (née Whetham; 1900–1997) was a British biochemist and scientific indexer.
Margaret Whetham was born on 21 April 1900, the daughter of William Cecil Dampier Whetham, a Cambridge-educated scientist and agricultural academic, and his wife Catherine Durning Holt, a daughter of Liverpool merchant Robert Durning Holt who had also pursued an education at Cambridge.
Whetham co-authored four scientific papers with Stephenson and held the Old Students Jubilee Research Fellowship in 1926–27.
She married Dr. Alan Bruce Anderson, a clinical pathologist, on 12 September 1927,[1] and had five children and sixteen grandchildren including Tiffany Margaret Hall.
Anderson joined the Society of Indexers two years later and served as its treasurer, membership secretary, member of the board of assessors, and vice-president over the next several decades.
