Basically, you can add fields to the attribute table and add the information manually there. Or you can join an appropriate table to that file.

I assume that this is your first foray into GIS, so I would recommend the former approach beginning with Adding Fields to tables

Further to this, after I have entered the field name into the table along with the data such as the address. How do I get the data to pop up when I hover my mouse over it or click on the point. For example : https://www.causewaycoastandglens.gov.uk/see-do/harbour-and-marinas/harbour-maps 

Thanks in advance.

Hyperlinks is one option  and another... but your question is beginning to sound it will continue, so finish one phase and return with questions when you enter a new phase
