The crontab will be in one of the /etc/cron.* directories.
However, it's normal to be "left behind" when you uninstall. When you
remove a package in Ubuntu/Debian, it leaves behind it's config files,
one of which is the crontab. To completly remove it, you need to use
--purge with your "apt-get remove". If you've already uninstalled it,
you can use "dpkg --purge" to remove the config files.

I probably need to modify the crontabs to check if the script exists
before trying to run it too.

It appears you used the Nginx config with it (CRON[8443]: (www-data)
CMD (/usr/share/grase/scripts/start_php_cgi), how'd that go for you?
