What exactly are you looking for? The census records in Belgium are different from the US census.

Here's the FS Wiki page about these records: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Belgium_Census

 

The FS Catalog is a good place to start if trying to find online records.

I thought it could help me find children to go with the parents I find. I have been using the Ten Year Tables, but there was one Ten Year Table missing on Family Search, so I thought the census could help, but I don’t see anywhere I can search.

Have a look at the website of the State Archives of Belgium. (https://search.arch.be/) While most of the images of civil registration records they have are direct copies of the digital images FS has, sometimes one of the two websites has made a mistake and missed a set of records.

 

If you can't find either the Ten Year Table or the Population Register/Census that you want on either the FS Catalog or the website of the State Archives, I suggest contacting the State Archives. Also take a look at https://geneaknowhow.net/digi/resources.html
