I have an old email that no longer exists, and I cannot delete the account from my iPad

I have an old email that no longer exists, and I cannot delete the account from my iPad. I cannot remember the old email password for my old iCloud account, so I cannot turn off the "Find My" activation lock and load my new Apple ID using my new email address.

iPad, iOS 9

I have an Apple IPad Air and I moved. My old email no longer exists and I cant remember my password for icloud. I do have my apple ID and password. Is there some way to reset my apple ID for icloud to an email that exists or have the password sent to my new email? I keep getting very annoying requests to sign into icloud, sometimes 9 in a row. It's maddening!
