There is a christening for an Ursula Wodell on 24 August 1628 in Cranfield, Bedfordshire, England, daughter of Richard Wodell.  There are online trees at Ancestry and FamilySearch that list his wife's name as Ursula Franklyn, but I don't see parish records for such a marriage.  The surname may have been Odell.
