We are not allowed to do 1939 lookups - have you tried the free index?

Also 13 years is quite a while for people to be living at the same address. What information do you have about your all your 16 great great grandparents' other children who would be the parents of these 'cousins'. Maybe 'cousins' was used as a loose term rather than the exact one we use today.

Findmypast allow you to obtain certain information from the 1939 register for free, further details require a subscription. I do not know if ancestry have a free index. Your local library may have access to these websites. Or you could wait for either of them to offer a free access weekend or a free trial subscription.
