The three detained in Camborne, Cornwall, are originally from Portadown in Co Armagh. It is understood they have been living in England for over a year.
The 51-year-old woman and her two daughters, aged 24 and 26, were held in an arrest operation involving officers from Devon and Cornwall.
Ms Nelson (40) a mother of three, was killed by a booby- trap bomb under her car outside her home in Lurgan in Co Armagh in March 1999.
The three women were arrested on suspicion of committing "serious terrorist" offences in Northern Ireland, according to a statement.
Nobody has been charged with the murder but the three arrested today were among several people interviewed by the inquiry team headed by Mr Colin Port.
