I do not get the trash symbol on certain photos I want to delete. What do I need to do?

If the photos were synced to the iPad from a computer, there is no trash icon for them on the iPad. You remove them from the iPad by syncing again but without those photos selected on the computer as ones that you want to sync. Also see the "Sync or remove content using iTunes" section of Use iTunes to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer - Apple Support
