If you are going to give out information you really should check that it is relevant.

Armorial Families by A. C. Fox-Davies was published in five editions - 1895, 1899, 1902, 1905, and 1929. The RAINEY entry in the 1895 edition gives the arms as 'Gules two Eagle's Wings conjoined in lure tips upwards' and the Crest as 'A Lion's Head in Mural Crown'. These were the arms used by the armiger but they were not recorded at the Office of the Ulster King of Arms.

However, in the 1899 edition of Armorial Families, the blazon for the arms has been revised and actually confirmed by the Office of the Ulster King of Arms and is published as 'Gules two Flaunches Or over all two Eagle's Wings conjoined and erect proper' with the Crest blazoned as 'On a Wreath of the colours issuant from a Mural Crown proper a Lion's Head Or guttée-de-l'armes'. The arms and crest then remained the same in the three remaining editions.

However, that said, it is fraud and a breach of moral/social etiquette to use the arms of someone else, even if they have the same surname, unless you can establish a documented paternal pedigree that links your bloodline to those of the original armiger.
