I've been researching several families in the Beler registration
district in Derbyshire, mainly on FamilySearch, and haven't been able
to find any of them in the 1871 Census.
Was there something wrong with it in Derbyshire, or is it just
FamilySearch?

Is it possible they were not home at the time of the census? They could
have been visiting friends or traveling? I've seen this occasionally.
Have you tried surrounding areas?

Most of them were framework knitters, quarrymen or coal miners.
One moved from being a coalminer in the Belpwer district in 1861 to
being a scavenger for the district council in Basford in
Nottinghamshire in 1881, and was back down the mine in 1891, but in Nottinghamshire.

I'd be rather surised if 20 different families were not at home on the
same night in 1871, yet were at home in 1861 and 1881.

Maybe they took a family holiday ;) Sorry, but to me "several" doesn't
equate to 20.

Tell us who you are looking for and we can check Ancestry and/or FMP.
It is possible that one or more folios, present in the original books,
have been accidentally omitted from the digitisation (and, assuming the >digitisation was done from microfilm, perhaps also from the microfilm).
This might be apparent from a break in the folio and page numbers. You
are not going to want to browse the whole of Belper (though you probably >would have done in pre-internet days when there was no alternative), but
if you can narrow down the area where the families should be, you might
be able to page through to check.
I found such an instance in the 1851 census for a town in Wales, where >entries I had transcribed from the microfilm years ago were missing from >either Findmypast or Ancestry (or both - I forget). This involved a >significant number of missing pages, and they did correct it after I
drew their attention to it.
It might be worth raising the query on a Derbyshire specific forum, for >example https://groups.io/g/derbysgen2 , in case someone with local
knowledge has an answer.

I have done a lot of Derbyshire research myself, and the only person I
could never find was a Sarah Elizabeth WILDGOOSE, born 1842 in Darley
Dale. I believe she ran away from her husband, William ELLIOTT, who
then remarried about 7 years later (something of a giveaway) but I have
found no evidence of any death. She was in the 1871 census but
disappeared after that.

Thanks very much for the offer.
Here are two of them that I have not been able to find in the 1871
census on FamilySearch:
George Lowe, born about 1867 in Killamarsh, Derbyshire
Harriet Eley, borin about 1863 in Littleover, Derbyshire

Perhaps you should have checked whether that census was available?
A quick search of the FamilySearch catalogue shows they do not have any
of the 1871 England and Wales Census.

But they do have 1871 Census records for a lot of other places.
