I search two databases (both incomplete):
1. www.Irishgenealogy.ie for Co. Kerry & Dublin church B/M/D rcds.
2. www.brsgenealogy.com for most of the other counties.
For John Kennedy B 1855 (exact), somewhere in those parts of Ireland which are in the databases, and a father forenamed Timothy, I found NO rcds.
This infers: 1) the rcd didn't survive. 2) the rcds haven't been transcribed. or, 3) some of your info may be incorrect. I think #2 is the most likely. Cos. Clare, Carlow, Monaghan, Wexford, Waterford, Offaly, Laois, and parts of Co. Dublin & Cork haven't been transcribed yet. Church rcd keeping (at least by RCs) was fairly good by 1855.
All census rcds from 1821 through 1891 were either destroyed by the British, or burned in the Four Courts fire of 1922 (compliments of the IRA).
The following MAY be a false positives, (due to pure random chance, or not), but it might give you a possible lead on siblings.

There are no earlier M rcds for Timothy and Johanna in either Kerry, or Dublin. Rcd keeping 1810-1830 was poor.
Will leave this clue for you to evaluate.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
