Robert Wellbeloved Scott (1803-1856)
Robert Wellbeloved married Sarah Scott, taking her surname, on 17th February 1830. The change off name was reported as follows:
Sarah Scott was the only daughter and heiress to the family estates of John Scott (1764 - 3rd January 1832). Thus in 1832 Robert Wellbeloved Scott inherited much property in Great Barr and other areas.
He sat as Liberal M.P. for Walsall from 1841 to 1847, and became Deputy Lieutenant and High Sheriff of Staffordshire, with residences at the Red House, Great Barr; Cambridge Gate, Regents Park, London; and High Street, Stourbridge.
In 1845 Robert Scott purchased the manor and estates of Ratlinghope, between the remote hills of the Long Mynd and the Stipperstones in Shropshire, with land at neighbouring Norbury and Wentnor.
He and his wife had one son, John Charles Addyes Scott and three daughters. Robert Scott died in 1856 .

Sneal's Green (or more properly Snail's Green) appears on early maps and covers the area near to Red House Estate. A number of gravestones in St Margarets Church mention Snails Green's residents..
In March 1832 the property was advertised in the Birmingham Gazette for rent, being available from Lady Day, 25th March 1832.
It would appear it was then rented to John Vaughan Barber until 1841
