KENEDY/KINEDY/KENNEDY

[seasider53]

I am trying to track down the movements of my Great Grand Father (Daniel KENNEDY) Family.
The story is that the Family emigrated to the USA around 1852, however Daniel (born 1841) did not go with them but remained in Drom & Inch, being cared for by a local doctor.
It is thought Daniel looked after the Doctors pony and later went on to become a lawyers assistant.
Around 1858 he joined the Army,1st Battalion, Kings 8th regiment of foot and served until around 1878 when the regiment left Malta for India.  I have been unsuccessful in tracking down his army record but have his rank & occupation from his marriage certificate
Daniel remained in Malta till he died in 1921.

Any information on the best place to look to verify the information or any local knowledge would be appreciated.
