He received a Harkness Scholarship, and while an undergraduate, he examined the Cambrian trilobites at Hartshill near his home. He joined as a demonstrated in 1913 at the Imperial College under W. W. Watts. He published in 1915 on the Paradoxian Fauna of the Stockingford Shales. Illing was made demonstrator in petroleum in 1914 and from 1917 he published on his surveys of British oil shales. He married Frances Jean Leslie in 1919 and went to Trinidad where Illing worked briefly for Naparima oil company. He used core samples and examined foraminifera and heavy minerals to delineate the geology of the region. Illing worked again in South America, in Venezuela from 1928 and in other parts of the world, particularly during World War II when he was involved in measures to ensure petroleum supplies to Britain. His son Leslie V. Illing also became a geologist. (en)
