Good Morning
Firstly the living relatives of his siblings .There are 17 family trees for him on Ancestry and at least some of them must be descendents of his siblings ,you can try contacting them and even if only some of them reply and fit the bill you should have plenty of people to go at.(I presuming your looking for DNA testing or something similar).
Lovely photos of him on some of them by the way.

Ann Harvey seems to have had the one sister Elizabeth born 1831 Shapwick .(again lovely photos on line)
Elizabeth married John Thomas Homer at Witchampton 10.9.1862 .She was 31 he was 26 and a yeoman.
1871 census Hemsworth
John Thomas Homer 35 farmer 968 acres Martinstow
Elizabeth 40
Elizabeth 7
John Leonard  5
Mary Sarah 4
Anna 3
Alice Louise 2months and 5 servants.
Can't spot the 1881 but the 1891 gives 2 more children Katherine Maud  15 (daughter)and Lilly B.A 13.(niece)

John Leonard Homer married Kensington st Cuthbert 26.9.1894 Edith Frances Tuson .
He died Dec 1962 at Gosport and his Will has 2 exec -one Dorothy wood homer.£5996
Edith had died 15.6.1955 age 89 ,another Will £1050 to her husband retired Col Royal Marines.
They seem to have been out of England for 1901/911 but have moved back to Witchampton after the War when Mary Sarah is living with them.
Dorothy Wood homer was born 9.11.1902 and died Hendon Feb 1985 .
I  assume she is their daughter and she was registered in Portsmouth..

Elizabeth is buried at Witchampton age 73 22.101.1902 an d her husband dies 29.6.1917.He leaves a Will and his spinster daughters Mary and Alice are the executors £5760.

Daughter Mary Sarah died unmarried on London 9.10.1956.She made a Will £3022 ex Dorothy Wood Homer.

Daughter Anna Dorothea married 28.6.1900 Marylebone Henry John Stock 46 artist widower.They have a daughter Iris Mary in 1904 at West Brompton London. Henry John Stock seems to have died Dec 1930 at Westhampnett Sussex.Anna D Stock died Dec 1948 at St Albans age 80.
There are a couple of possible marriages for Iris M Stock and given they move about  I can't tell which is the right one.

Daughter Alice Maud Homer died near Bournemouth and is buried Hinton Martel 30.9.1957.Unmarried she also leaves a Will £4790 pne of the ex is Dorothy Wood Homer spinster.

Daughter Katherine Maud married William James Uglow Woolcock (1878-1947)in Exeter in 1903 and died Hampstead 1954 .
They had 2 sons James William 1905 and John Uglow 1908
Plenty of foriegn trips for both sons, James William seems to be a chemist and member of the Royal aviator Club.John Uglow Woolcock is the other Exec on many of the Wills.
