Usually when setting up a new Android device you are required to set up a Gmail account. Did your wife use her existing account? The account is part of a Google+ account which actually holds the information for all Google apps such as Drive, Playstore, Gmail, Docs and many more. If you log onto a new device using the old account all your data (which is saved in the account and on Google's servers) will become available there.
