Jury, I get there family, but I have no proof that I have the correct Hugh, son of William and Jane.
and Thanks Tracey, will check your suggestion out.

Hi Thomas, Hugh and Elizabeth married in 1860 well after it became mandatory to report Hatches, Matches and Dispatches. William and Jane were not required to report the births, indeed, Susan's entry is a Baptism not her birth. It's likely that William and Jane didn't bother to have any of the rest of the children baptised.
Two of the children, directly after Susan, were born in Kirkmichael (Jane's place of birth) they then moved back to Dailly where the next four were born, sometime between 1855 and 1861 the family moved to Riccarton.
You know who Hugh and Susan married so only six to go:
The way I do this is to get a rough age of the person, say Andrew born abt 1848 in Ayr, go to Family Search add 23 years to the birth year and do a marriage search 5 years plus or minus, starting in Ayr. There are 5 but only one in Riccarton:
1. ANDREW JAMIESON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 22 OCT 1866 Kirkmichael, Ayr, Scotland
2. ANDREW JAMIESON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 13 SEP 1867 Riccarton, Ayr, Scotland
3. ANDREW JAMIESON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 01 JAN 1869 Loudoun, Ayr, Scotland
4. ANDREW JAMIESON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 01 JAN 1873 Galston, Ayr, Scotland
5. ANDREW JAMIESON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 17 JUN 1873 New Cumnock, Ayr, Scotland
The first one I'd check is the Riccarton one to Margaret Irvine, pound to a penny it's the right Andrew.
Do the same for William, Alexander, Mary, John and Thomas. It may take a while but if you can narrow it down the search is a bit easier.
IGI has three children to Andrew and Margaret:
1. ANDREW JAMIESON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 11 AUG 1873 Dailly, Ayr, Scotland
2. JOHN JAMIESON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 14 JUL 1871 Dailly, Ayr, Scotland
3. WILLIAM JAMIESON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 26 MAY 1869 Kirkoswald, Ayr, Scotland
There will probably be others after 1873. After 1874 you'll have to use Scotland's People again narrowing down the dates.
Searching for Keogh, Kelly, Fitzgerald, Riddell, Stewart, Wilson, McQuilkin, Lynch, Boyle, Cairney, Ross, King, McIlravey, McCurdy, Drennan and Woods (to name but a few).
Also looking for any information on Rathlin Island, County Antrim, Ireland.
- dont laugh, I have one!! 
) it can be a right royal pain....
