This surname is derived from an occupation. 'the tragetour,' a master of legerdemain, a juggler.
'Swiche as thise subtil tregetoures play.' - Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales.
My first instance seems to imply a misreading of the text:
Richard le Tregheler: Kirby's Quest.
Symon le Tregetor, Cambridgeshire, 1273. Hundred Rolls.
William le Tregetur, Cambridgeshire, ibid.
Simon Tregetour, Webster 1379: Poll Tax of Howdenshire.
The last instance proves that the merely occupative title had settled down into an ordinary surname, but I fear it has not survived.
