Alternatively and simpler, I think, and avoiding a merge, would be to just change her LNAB to UNKNOWN

This profile was originally intended to be an Elizabeth Drake who was born 1626 in Merstham, Surrey, and died 1628. Such an individual did exist. "England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J38J-KL2 : 21 March 2020), Elizabeth Drake, 1626. But in order to fill the demand for a spouse for John Council her profile was distorted and altered until she was no one who existed.

The notion that her father Robert was a Gateway Ancestor should be viewed with skepticism. (I now see that the Magna Carta Project has identified this as the correct Robert Drake)

Drake-1803 should be detached as the spouse of John Council and her profile restored based on properly sourced evidence.
