Marcus Lehmanns Vater, Ascher Laemle Weldt, genannt Lehmann (1769-1858), stammte aus der oberfränkischen Landgemeinde Zeckendorf. Er folgte einem seiner Brüder nach Böhmen. Als er zur österreichischen Armee eingezogen werden sollte, floh er nach Norddeutschland.

Er war neben seinem Beruf als kleiner Händler, den er mit wechselndem Erfolg ausübte, auch rabbinischer Gelehrter. Er hatte an der Prager Jeschiwa (Talmud-Hochschule, ähnlich der Halberstädter Klaus) noch ein rein jüdisches Studium absolviert.
