As you were not synchronising Safari with iCloud, you will hopefully have either an iCloud or iTunes backup of your iPad. If so, you can restore your backup to your iPad - and in restoring the backup will recover your Safari data.

If you don't have a backup of your iPad - and your Safari data is missing - try a forced restart. The restart may resolve an isolated software glitch:

If the restart does not resolve the problem - and you don't have a pre-existing backup - your Safari data has been irretrievably lost.
