Thanks to all who contacted me through this forum and other means. I now have got my tree back to my 5th great-grandparents, John HABBERLY and Eleanor PERRY married 2nd November 1765 at Wellington, Shropshire. They lived and raised their family at Dawley Magna nearby, many descendants working as Blacksmiths or coal miners in the Madeley & Coalbrookdale area.
I am still very interested indeed in anyone whose HABBERLEY/HABBERLY/ABBERLEY/ABBERLY relatives may have come from this area of Shropshire, or Staffordshire, as we may be related. My 3rd great-grandfather was Thomas HABBERLEY (1796), who moved to Goldenhill (Potteries, Staffordshire) from Madeley and was blacksmith there. I only have one child for him, there must be others and would especially like to trace other descendants of this Thomas. Amazingly, a gravestone still exists for Thomas and both his wives there at the Parish Church of St John the Evangelist:
