Some baptisms on familysearch show Ann was an Ann Lewis.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly!does it say she was married to Robert Drake or she was the mother of his first child John?any luck with his second wife Elizabeth?I got my info from the non-conformist and non-parochial register 1567-1970.

The 2 sons birth/baptisms on familysearch.org would indicate that Robert Drake and Ann Lewis were married.  Presumably she'd died before they'd got round to baptising the 2 boys as I note that although born 1815 and 1816 they weren't baptised until 15/2/1827.

Robert Perry Drake b.27/4/1815
John Drake b.10/11/1816 - both baptised 15/2/1827.

I can't find a burial for Ann Drake.

Not sure how much info you already have but have found several Drakes in Oakham and Uppingham which seem to be your family.
I can't find any reference to Ann(Lewis) at all - sorry.
What I have found is:-
ma of Robert(wdr) otp to Elizabeth COLE otp 21/12/1819 by Banns Oakham

1 child of Robert(a Tailor) & Elizabeth - George Cole Drake bp  8/7/1821 Oakham

Burials in Oakham:
Susanna age 7 4/11/1819 b 1812
Elizabeth age 85 25/1/1820 b 1735
Samuel age 49 29/6/1824 b 1875
Robert age 13 20/9/1828 b 1815
Sarah age 65 2/11/1836 b 1771
Elizabeth age 34 8/4/1856 b 1822

Have found who I think are Robert's siblings all at Uppingham: all children of Robert (aTailor )of Bourn Lincs & Frances Taylor otp who married on 16/5/1775 in Uppingham:

bp Robert 25/3/1780
Elizabeth 4/11/1781
Frances 7/11/1783
Mary 8/3/1786
John 22/6/1788
Elizabeth 29/12/1792

Also a couple of bu in Uppingham :
Elizabeth 3/4/1791 aged 9 b abt 1782 (might be Robert's sister)
Frances 21/5/1801 ahed 24 b abt 1777 (also might be his sister)

1841  census shows the family and 1851 shows Robert wdr with his daughter Harriet and her husband and family in Oakham.

Hope this is of help although it is not what you originally wanted.
