I have been unable to find any direct links in relation to the information found by Ivan.
I have gound an entry on the Probate Calendar in 1875 for Henry William Boatright. A short time before his death he is living in St James Walk Clerkenwell, a couple of streets away from where James Boatright c1822 was living and where James' father William had lived. If there isn't a family link somewhere it's a heck of a coincidence that he moves all the way from Liverpool to end up a few hundred yards away.
I have sent for the death certificate of the William Boatright who died in Clerkenwell in March Quarter 1858. I will post whatever infromation this shows.

Thank you for the information from Ann Maria’s death certificate.
A. S. Worth could be Augusta Susannah Worth (nee Cattell) but there is no obvious connection to the Boatrights (except that she lived in the parish of St James, Clerkenwell). Perhaps Ann Maria lodged with the Worths? It could be significant that none of the Boatright siblings was Informant for the death.
This is the record for the marriage of William Boatright and Louisa Wheatright, brief details of which I provided before.
“Marriages solemnisezed in the Parish of SAINT JAMES, WESTMINSTER in the County of Middlesex, in the Year 1819
William Boatright of this Parish and Louisa Wheatright of this Parish were married in this Church by Banns … this Eighth Day of April in the Year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Nineteen, By Me, Edward Smedley Clerk in Orders.
This Marriage was solemnized between us William Boatright … Louisa Wheatright In the Presence of S. J. Wilkins … Sarah Williams
No. 98”
However the name “Wheatright” seemed odd and I checked the record again and note that it seems to be a Bishops Transcript rather than the original Parish Record.
I believe that the entry in the original Parish Register may have been mistranscribed when the Bishops Transcripts were prepared because there are no “Wheatrights” (or similar) on the IGI (other than the referred to marriage of Louisa) nor on any of the Ancestry Censuses.
I suppose that it could be that Louisa’s surname began with “Wheat….” but even this is by no means certain.
Just to complicate matters George Carvalho Boatright married Harriet WHEATCROFT on 25 December 1850 at Aldingbourn, Sussex.
George and Harriet had a son Samuel George born 1851 died 1853 but after that, so far, I can’t find them.

Further to my last posting there is a possibility that George and Harriet Boatright emigrated to Australia.
Peter Boatright son of a George and Harriet Boatright was born on 5 October 1854 and baptized at St Thomas, Charterhouse, Islington, Middlesex on 12 November 1854. Father’s occupation difficult to read but looks like Furrier.
On 14 April 1855 the following family arrived at Sydney, New South Wales aboard the ship “Washington Irving”:
George Boatright age 29 (i.e. born c 1826) occupation not clear but could be Clothier
Harriet Boatright age 26 (i.e. born c1829)
Peter Boatright age 1 (i.e. born c1854)

I have bee trying to get my head around all the locations identified, although a number of them have disappeared from modern London, bombing and redevelopment, I guess.
I have just been looking at Stanford's 1862 map of London on the internet, specifically Clerkenwell, which shows the locations clearly
I am ging to print off the pages and have a go at mapping all the locations for these boatright families and see what, if anything this produces.
Too late to do it tonight though, I'll start tomorrow although it might have to be a job for the weekend

I think that you may be able to eliminate from your enquiries the James Boatwright born 8 May 1826 and christened at Old Church, St Pancras on 6 August 1826.
His baptism record shows that his parents were William and Mary, and William’s occupation is given as Coachman.
James is shown aged 10 (i.e. within the confines of the rounding down process) in the 1841 Census living with Mary Boatrite 50, Henry 25 and Sophia 15. (This is the record to which you referred in one of your postings)
These seem to be James in 1851 and 1861:
