I have been messaging on my iPad with my brother, who has an android phone, for years. I just got a new iPad and it should have all the same settings. But I am now told that my brother is no longer registered. I can still message with him on my old broken iPad but I can't find any way to message to him with my new iPad. All the settings should be the same!
very very very very, very annoying.
Your iPad is, as you stated, a new device. It must be separately recognized. Pay special attention to step 3 under “Automatically forward texts to your other devices” here.

Forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your Mac or iPad - Apple Support
If you have an iPhone - and both iPad and iPhone are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID - to send SMS/MMS messages (green bubbles) from your iPad you must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your new iPad on your iPhone...
On your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.
Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON
Can no longer message my brother on new iPad. !!
