You did actually help, it always helps to have an understanding person to talk to and bounce ideas off!

Thanks J7, but no success so far. I’m raising a ticket with Apple and will report back if there’s a positive outcome. Thanks for your help with this J.A. & J7!

Thanks Jupiter7, my wife has copied the post-update notes elsewhere. As an experiment, I’ve restored a pre-update backup to an older unused iPad mini 5 (rather than risk any more issues in the short term). The result was disappointing as the “lost” notes did not re-appear. As a further...
