Who lived in this house in 1940?

I dont want to put a spanner in the works but at that time, nearly all people the same age as our parents were referred to as 'aunt' and 'uncle'. it was either mr and mrs sowieso or aunt and uncle.

I called my godparents Aunt and Uncle.

I reckon this is the right page in the register. If it was done in order along East Lane, Brooklyn would be household 276:

Some areas produce voter's lists - electoral registers, I've seen them into the 1960s for parts of Yorkshire, on Ancestry. Perhaps other places do them, too?

I think you meant the household is 275, not 276    Next door to The Manse.

And "Hollydene" appears on the 1939 register as household 279, and is named on Google Maps.

And next door to Hollydene we have Rock View - shown as 2 households in 1939 and also on the map.

No, next door but one. "Brooklyn" is a semi and the other semi is between it and "The Manse".
