No, travellers or Gypsies are more likely to have descended from the Romani or Romany/Roma groups who are an ethnicity of Indian origin living mostly in Europe and the Americas.
They are dispersed all over Europe and arrived in mid-west Asia around 1,000 years ago.
The Irish gypsies I think are also included in this group.
The "Pikey" word I'm not sure about don't know where that came from.
