Aware this may be a stupid question but... do you need to “do anything” to make clear the situation? e.g Is being on the same PNR what is used?

We’ll be travelling with two youngsters so minimising other forms of stress is always welcome :-)
I worried the first time I did it. And I was travelling on my own. In your case, with your U.S. citizen wife travelling with you, you just need your marriage certificate, or photocopy of it. The last time I flew, I didn't even need to see the CBP guy at LHR. The check-in lady dealt with him over the phone. One word of warning -- on arrival at the U.S. airport, you will most likely have to go off to the secondary inspection room. This is normal at the moment, and shouldn't concern you. You will just need to show the marriage certificate again.
