stepgrandfather

Grandfather by marriage

A stepgrandfather is the stepfather of one's parent—a man who married one's grandmother but is not one's biological grandfather.

The relationship arises through remarriage rather than blood: My stepgrandfather came into the family when my mom was a teenager.
