Nellie L'Estrange 
Last updated: 24.05.24
p_lestrangen.jpgIt is surprising that so little is known about this performer considering the large number of compositions located. All that can presently (June 2022) be gleaned about Nellie L'Estrange from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an English actress/singer who has been featured on 17 works published between 188- and 1896.
She was also the composer of Jack's the Lad (1892), words by George Horncastle: and published by Hopwood & Crew, .
Her portrait on the left is taken from Hardly! What Say You? (1880) music by Philipp Fahrbach, words by John Cooke: and published by Chas. Sheard & Co., .
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this composer/performer.
This list is derived from information provided by Monologues.co.uk which went down sometime in 2023.
The loss of this valuable resource is very sad and a mystery.
