Here's how I'm getting these numbers, by the way: in the chapter, the Eldian Restorationists mention the Fritz King's message that was sent out 80 years ago. As it's been known, the First King raised the walls 107 years before 850, in the year 743. Eighty years after that puts the time of Grisha's capture by the Marleyans around the year 823, which would be seven years before he is found by Keith Shadis wandering outside the walls.

We're told that Zeke turned the Restorationists in to the government when he was 7 years old, meaning that if this happened in the year 823, Zeke would have been born in the year 816. Grisha says he was 18 years old when he joined the Restorationists, and he and Dina had Zeke the following year. This means that in the year 816, Grisha would be 19 years old when Zeke was born (Sheesh, I couldn't imagine raising a son at my age). Overall, I'm estimating Grisha's birth to be in the year 797.

So if all of my estimations are more or less right, here's Grisha's ages throughout the events of Attack on Titan:


 * 18 years old: Joins the Eldian Restorationists


 * 19 years old: Fathers Zeke


 * 26 years old: Captured by the Marleyans


 * 33 years old (biologically 26): Found by Keith Shadis


 * 38 years old (biologically 31): Fathers Eren

But keep in mind, these are all estimations. The characters mention the end of the Titan War "eighty years ago" twice in the story, the first time (Grisha's father) about 16 years or so before the last (Eldian Restorationists). I choose to go with the second mention, since the first would screw up the dates so that Grisha was turned into a mindless Titan after he was found by Keith, which is just plain incorrect.
 * 48 years old (biologically 41): Slaughters the Reiss family, dies after being eaten by Eren
