Born in Kinsale, County Cork, Heard was the son of John Heard and Rachel, daughter of Isaac Servatt. He was admitted to Peterhouse, Cambridge in 1804, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1808.[6] He married Mary Wilkes, daughter of Hope Wilkes, in 1808, and they had six children: Joh Wilkes Heard (1811–1825); Robert Heard (born 1815); Martha Ann Heard (1809–1834); Catherine Jane Heard (born 1810); Mary Heard (born 1812); and, Eleanor (1814–1840).[2][3]

He later became a Justice of the peace and Deputy Lieutenant and, in 1839, High Sheriff of County Cork.[2][3]

He was elected Whig Member of Parliament (MP) for Kinsale at a by-election in 1852—caused by the resignation of Benjamin Hawes—and held the seat until 1859, when he did not seek re-election.[2][6][7]
