Onatule : I think this must stand for Orlatele, a name written in Domesday. Jeffrey Orlatele held Baunton in Gloucestershire (see Atkyns); but I can find no account of his posterity. Mr. Ellis, however, suggests that it "is probably the same surname as Orescuilz, which occurs at a later date." I confess myself unable to trace any resemblance between the two names: and, according to Eyton (Domesday Studies, Somerset), the De Orescuilzs were descendants of Humphrey the Chamberlain. His estate, "Sanforda," is now Sandford-Orcas (a corruption of Sandford-Orescuilz).
