Given that the parents of Richard Wombwell were indeed Richard Wombwell and Elizabeth Negus,  then his brothers and sisters, and the 3rd great uncles and aunts of Hetty Jane Owen would have been:

i. John Wombwell (1758-????)
ii. James Wombwell (1761-1798)
iii. Elizabeth Wombwell (1763-????)
iv. William Wombwell (1765-????)
v. Mary Wombwell (1768-????)
vi. Dorcas Wombwell (1770-????)

Richard himself was the oldest child, born in 1757. From what is known of these children, his likely siblings, the following possibilities have been gleaned from various sources on the web:

James Wombwell was born in Arkesden and married Hannah Kemp in Clavering in 1788. They had five children, who would have been first cousins x3 removed of Hetty Jane Owen.

i. James Wombwell (1788–1856). He married a Susanna, and they had a son, Charles. The family moved to Hertfordshire.
ii. Ann Wombwell (1791–1875) was both born and died in Clavering.
iii. Charles Wombwell (1793–1861). He married a Jane, and they had three children, William, John, and Charles. This branch seems to have stayed in the Essex and Suffolk area.
iv. Susan Wombwell (1794–????)
v. John Wombwell (1796–1851)

Dorcas Wombwell married Thomas Gladwin in Elmdon, Essex in 1790, and they had a son, Thomas Wombwell, born the same year.

The Origins of Richard Wombwell

Most likely, Richard Wombwell was born in 1757 in Arkesden, Essex, the oldest of seven children of Richard Wombwell and Elizabeth Negus.

The seven children, including Richard himself were: 

Richard Wombwell 1757–1833
John Wombwell 1758–
James Wombwell 1761–1798
Elizabeth Wombwell 1763–
William Wombwell 1765–
Mary Wombwell 1768–
Dorcas Wombwell 1770–

His parents married in nearby Newport in 1756, and as their marriage certificate shows, both were illiterate:

Should this tree be correct, Richard Wombwell and Elizabeth Negus would be the x3 great-grandparents of Hetty Jane Owen.
