I can't help you with Trampe, but I can tell you that Spurgeon is not Dutch, and probably not Danish either! I hope that helps!

Spurgeon IS Dutch - read on
Have records from the 1550's of families leaving Holland to escape, including 5 complete families known as Spurgeon.
This name is unknown in East Anglia/ Britain before this time....

but it doesn't sound Dutch at all! It looks extremely undutch. I've never heard of it in my life! Are you sure? Couldn't they have come from somewhere else originally?
