Antrim (county)
I have been told an ancestor, James Wright, came from Houghall in County Antrim. Can anyone tell me if this is really a place and if so where in Antrim it's located? Thank you

Hello
You asked where in Co Antrim Houghall is but I think you may mean 'Ahoghill'.
The locals (of which I'm one a number of years ago!) have abroad accent and tend to drop the 'A'. The 'hoghill' which is left sounds like Houghall in the local dialect.
Ahoghill is about 3 miles from Ballymena in Co Antrim.
If you have any more questions please feel free to give me a shout!
Regards
Janet
