Not Gypsies, which were a different ethnic group, but Travelers (Tinkers).
I'm looking for customs, marriage, funeral, and specifically - would it be accepted, prohibited or a gray area if a father traded his daughter for a horse, against her wishes, to a husband? My story is set in 1745. The father and daughter (and the Traveler tribe) are Irish in Ballyshannon (near Donegal). The husband-to-be is a Scottish traveler. It's a magnificent grey stallion, by the way!
