All that can presently (June 2022) be gleaned about Nellie Wilson from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that
she was presumably an English music hall singer and composer who has been featured on 9 works published between 1890 and 1904.Nellie Wilson is also the one-off composer of Boot, Saddle, to Horse and Away (1917) published by Merrill School, Mamaroneck, New York, USA.
Her portrait on the left is taken from Up Came Johnny With His Camera! (1896) music by Orlando Powell, words by Albert Hall & Felix McGlennon and published by Francis, Day & Hunter, London W.C.2, England.
