My daughter has my old iPad, and we share the same Apple ID, for convenience with purchasing. However at present we also have a shared Contacts list on the two iPads. It would be better to have separate Contact lists, to go with our separate email accounts. Is this possible? And if so, how?

Perfectly possible, you essentially both need a free iCloud account, that you log into for the purposes or mail/calendars/notes/contacts etc etc.
You each log into iCloud from within
Settings > iCloudwith your unique ID, and turn on any appropriate option within that page once you are signed in.Then, for the App Store, go to
Settings > iTunes and App Storeand log in again, only this time simply both use the the same ID that is associated with all your past purchases.You can log into different ID's for different services like Facetime/Messages/App Store/Mail at the same time, it really doesn't mind.
