Several of us have tried to help but have had difficulty understanding what you were looking for so think you are being a bit unfair 

The problem when posting online is that you know what you are looking for, where you have searched already, etc. but we don't know all that information which is why we ask questions in order to help you.

Magheralinn R.C. records start 1815 and if you've searched there already and not found any other details on the family perhaps there are gaps (either missing bits or illegible portions) so next step is to widen searches to adjoining parishes in case the family moved before that 1825 baptism. Remember also that marriages usually take place in the bride's church (which might not be the same as the groom's) so you might find a marriage in one place but children baptised in another.

If you haven't already done so, have a look at SIT and add your families there. One never knows when someone searching for the same family will find you.

Have just found several online trees- not sure if any are yours but they give Peter Devlin (born 1800 Ireland died 1855 Scotland) married to Jane McKay/McKie (born 1794 Ireland) with children Hugh (born 1825 Ireland died 1881 Scotland), Archibald (born c1833 Scotland), William (born c1835 Scotland) and one tree with a daughter Alison Develen (born 1832 Ireland). No mention of Sarah (c1825). Lots for you to explore there which might help you get further back with your family.

It's not clear if you (or other relatives) have explored all possible Scottish resources. For example, if this is true-

then Peter's death certificate should list place of birth, parents' names, etc.-
