Notes would sync if you are using iCloud Notes. Messages, you need to have iMessage turned on and activated on the iPad and if you wish to get SMS on the iPad, you have to turn on Text Message Forwarding on the iPhone in Settings>Messages. See this for other continuity features. Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support

My messages, notes etc do not mirror on each Device. If I sent a message or updated a note on my iPhone it reflected any amendments on my iPad, but since getting a new iPhone this doesn’t happen. I realise it’s a setting but cannot find which one.
iOS devices don’t “sync” with each other so please explain what you are trying to accomplish.
Thank you. A bit of tweaking and your help sorted out my problem. Thank you.
You're welcome.
