My daughter broke the digitizer so I replaced it and of course this broke the backlight so I now need to repair that but in an attempt I did a factory reset and for some reason wen it came back on it had a different icloud activation email iv never seen we have had this iPad activated to both mine n mums email prior to this so don't understand we have had it a good 3year without any problems what can I do?

I'm afraid that without the iCloud ID and password your iPad is asking for, there's no way to activate the iPad. There are no ways to bypass this requirement.
Unfortunately, as it is, you've got something that's little more than a paperweight.

So, you replaced some hardware items and now the iPad is magically locked to an Apple ID that you've never seen or used? I find this difficult to believe given the facts as you've stated them.
