George Till was born in 1845 at Berkeley, illegitimate child of Mary Clutterbuck. Between 1851 and 1861 he was living with Thomas and Charlotte Till at Stone, a small village near Thornbury-on-Severn. He married Emma Crump in 1867 and, when their daughter Kate was baptised in 1868, they are both referred to as “Till”. At the time of the 1871 census, he was an agricultural labourer. George died in 1906.

The original Champagne Charlie was Charles Heidsieck, the French Champagne wine merchant. The music hall song was composed by Alfred Lee, with lyrics by George Leybourne. Leybourne himself performed the song, starting in August 1866 at the Princess’ Concert Hall, Leeds. It became one of Leybourne’s most popular acts, and he himself was often referred to as “Champagne Charlie”.
