On the 1851 Census Herbert's down as Sarah's son.
On the 1861 Census he's down as her grandson! Sarah would have been about 54 at the time of his birth, so it's more probable that he's her grandson.

Can anyone sort out who his parents were??

any marriage for him?

In 1871 he's still living in Randles Lane, Tipton:

Herbert Hadley, Head, Mar, 29, Iron Moulder, Worcs Rowley
Pheobe, Wife, Mar,25
Alice M, Daur, 4,
Mary E, Daur, 3,
James R, Son, 11 months
Others born Staffs, Tipton

Extracted,
HERBERT HADLEY.
Birth, 18 JUN 1841.
Christening, 05 SEP 1841. Saint Thomas, Dudley, Worcester.

Mother: ELIZABETH HADLEY.

1881.
Herbert HADLEY Head M Male 39 Rowley Regis, Worcester, England Moulder
Phoebe HADLEY Wife M Female 35 Tipton, Stafford, England
James HADLEY Son Male 10 Tipton, Stafford, England Scholar
Clara HADLEY Daur Female 9 Tipton, Stafford, England Scholar
Albert HADLEY Son Male 7 Tipton, Stafford, England
Florance HADLEY Daur Female 3 Tipton, Stafford, England

23 Canal St.
Tipton, Stafford.

This marriage looks right:

HADLEY, Herbert
Registration District: Dudley
County: Staffordshire
Year of Registration: 1866
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Volume No: 6C
Page No: 95


WALTERS, Hannah
BATE, Phebe

I'll add this to look up's:

HADLEY Herbert
BATE Phebe
Dudley, St Thomas Dudley Register Office 204/024/176

Extracted,
RICHARD HADLEY.
Birth, 24 AUG 1843.
Christening, 18 FEB 1844. Saint Thomas, Dudley, Worcester.

Mother: ELIZABETH HADLEY.

He doesn't seem to appear on any of the census's with the family, but it fits as far as Elizabeth marrying in 1850. Maybe he died or was adopted. Have you found him on any of the census's Jimmy?

Not yet.

I've got the marriage for Herbert:

12th March 1866, Parish Church, Dudley
Herbert Hadley, 24, Bachelor, Moulder, Dudley, Benjamin Hadley, Fitter
Phebe Bate, 21, Spinster, Dudley, Abraham Bate, Inn Keeper
Both signed, by banns
Witnesses: Mary Ann Hughes, William (?) Hughes

That doesn't seem to help much, as I haven't a Benjamin Hadley connected with Sarah and James Hadley. He may of course have married and moved out of the family home before the 1841 census.

1861 Census for Phebe:

Rose And Crown Inn, Waterloo Street, Tipton, Staffs
Abraham Bate, Head, Mar, 52, Publican
Mary, Wife, Mar, 47,
Abraham, Son, Unmar, 16, Scholar,
Phoebe, Daur, Unmar, 15, Scholar,
Isaac, Son, Unmar, 13, Scholar,
Emma, Daur, Unmar, 11, Scholar,
John, son, Unmar, 9, Scholar, Warwicks Yardley
Sarah Richardsen, Servant, Unmar, 19, House Servant, Oxon Bicester
Others born Staffs, Tipton

moving to Brickwalls

If either the "Son" or "Grandson" was actually a "ditto" that might be the more likely mistake.
