Can anyone help with this family? Are the two sergeants related, does anyone know anything of the families?

If the above Archibald is the right one then it looks like he married locally
1882 RENNIE ARCHIBALD married RITCHIE MARY ANN at NEWINGTON EDINBURGH CITY/MIDLOTHIAN
How confident are you that he was born in 1855? There are some births for 1856 on SP

The marriage may not be the right one Sancti. This Archilbald and and Mary A R Rennie look to be in West Lothian for the 1891 census.

Always a pity when that happens 
Reading through some of the other posts by that person, it would seem one of the sisters (Margaret/Maud?) went on to become a nun. What that tells us, if that was correct, is that family was likely to have been Roman Catholic (?). I say that only because if Archibald Andrew was born in 1854 rather than 1855, you will not find his birth on the Old Parish Records in Scotland as these are for the Established Church of Scotland (Presbyterian) records. As I am sure you know, official registration only began in Scotland from 1855, so Archibald may have missed the start (hopefully not!).
I think your current thinking is the way to go. Start with what you know, the births of one of the children. From that, look for the marriage (hopefully it wasn't abroad  with Archibald posted abroad as he was when Archibald son was born in Malta) and from there, with confirmation of fathers' names, work back....
Let us know how you get on

Perhaps Archibald was born in Scotland but moved away before the 1861 census

I was wondering, while i wait for the certificate is there any way to search forward?
Archibald, March 31st. 1918 a Dockyard Worker is married at Saint Thomas Woolwich to Mary Louise Woodhouse in the presence of Albert James Woodhouse Dockyard Foreman and R Woodhouse. They are living at 105 Sand Street Woolwich. June 1924 they have a son Norman A.
Maud Violet, I believe her married name was Tennyson. She may have had two children Iona R. Tennyson June 1915 Woolwich and Zella I. Tennyson March 1918 Woolwich.
Margret, it is thought she became a nun. No order or other information known.

It would probably be worthwhile putting up a new post with a link to this post here on the Scottish General board (just copy and paste the URL at the top of the page) on the London Board here on Rootschat. Hopefully people with access to more specific London resources will be able to help www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,24.0.html
I noticed that on the 1901 Census in London, Archibald is down as Andrew, I wonder if this is the name he went by? There is this death showing which I wonder if it could be him:
Deaths 2nd Qrt 1925 - Rennie, Andrew age 70 at Woolwich, Refs. 1d 1015

My other thought, whilst you are awaiting arrival of cert... Have you ever tried to find Archibald Andrew (I would search under both/either name now) military records? I have no knowledge of military matters, but plenty of people here on RootsChat do www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,300.0.html
You may be lucky and find details of where he was posted (might give you further clues if the marriage proves illusive) also may if you are v. lucky, include place of birth in Scotland.
Not sure if you have enough info to pinpoint where to start looking for his records, but the military experts here on RootsChat might provide some useful pointers for you. Again, I would add a link to this post for background.
