There is a minor North Yorkshire place name, Wheedale, not to be confused with Wheeldale, which is not far away. There is also a surname, Wheedale, which, like Wheedle and Wheadle, is too rare for anyone to take an interest in. It's likely that all three surnames have a common origin.
As for the meaning, dale is another word for a valley, and Whee is beyond my ken.
