Grace was still married to William Lenderyou when she married Gabriel Blewett in Melbourne in 1862. The marriage to Gabriel was bigamous (this was known in the Blewett Morgan family and was, for Gabriel's sister Elizabeth at least, a bone of contention). William Lenderyou was living with his parents in Helston, Cornwall, when the 1861 census was taken. Grace had already emigrated to Victoria in October 1858 with her youngest brother William Arthur, without her husband in tow. William Arthur married in Fitzroy on 9 April 1862 (VIC BDM 1878/1862), six days later, and Grace was one of the witnesses. Their marriages appear one after the other in the marriage register.
