AustinQ,

Because Roger's one was born in the 3rd quarter of 1957. The details of the one in Sutton Coldfield match the later birth of a Jane I Nicholls.

If you google Jane's full name she comes up as a director of a company in Sutton Coldfield (2017), born 1961. Correspondence address is also included.

Rose, how do you know it's not the same person?

Hi Rose,
Thank you.
A relative of the Nicholls gave me the information that Jane Irene returned to the Uk.
Her Mother’s maiden name was Shrubb and I have all her details.
I had seen Ken’s death notice in the Sydney Morning Herald.
The same relative told me that Jean and Ken had separated and at the time of his death he had been living with one of the daughters in Sydney.
Kind regards,
Roger

The Jane who married a Launchbury is not your Jane.

There are 2 births for a Jane I Nicholls and only 1 marriage. Are you sure the one you've found is for the correct Jane? What leads you to believe your Jane returned to England?

Looking for Jane Launchbury (Jane Nicholls) born North London around 1959.
Family then moved to Australia Ken, Jean,Leonard, Jana and Shirley. After moving to Australia I understand two further daughters were born Hazel and Mary.
Jane returned to the UK and in 1982 married Ronald Launchbury in 1982 Elster/Ptters Bar. I believe last living in Sutton Coldfield in 2007.
I know Ken her Dad died in Sydney in 1994/95.
I now live in New Zealand.
