Another strange name across whilst researching a family tree - Kossuth Plato Hopkins (born Bham).
It's suggested that Kossuth may have Hungarian origins though no idea if it is in this case. Father was born in Bristol and mother was born in Jamaica and appears to be listed as a quadroon (a term I had to look up) on her baptism.
