It's entirely possible, you'll find that old cursive "n"s look like "m" with three looks, and "m" is four loops, and is still written that way in French cursive (and possibly others).

However, whether it is a problem in reading or not, it is probably worth looking into both eventualities given you've already found information thus far - if it is indeed location information there will likely be census data to support it!

I think you're right in that, it either gives connotations to me as somebody who rents a cottage or similar living space.

However Cottager as I know it is (from my limited historical knowledge) somebody who rents a plot of land and works it as a farmer, as opposed to owning the farm OR similarly somebody who rents a living space from a farmer and works on the farm.

Does any of this fit in with what you know?

For goodness sake 

This is ridiculous 

A good christian family I'm sure 

This is the right family however, that much we know!

I see, so Albert was not the son?

It's okay though it doesn't matter terribly - I'm on the right track! Ignoring that I don't know, how do I go back further given the information from before?
