This might sound like a daft idea but have you thought of putting a letter in one of our local newspapers with some of these ancestors' information and asking to meet up with your wife's family when you come.
The Newsguardian(covers NorthTyneside area and Blyth too I believe) or the Newcastle Evening Chronicle might be good ones for this ourpose.
Not so long ago I responded to someone overseas who placed a letter in the local Tyneside newspaper.
