Villagers are disappearing from the game. 

Are you taking any measures to prevent them from despawning?

What do you mean by "despawning"?  

I just either dig a hole and put on a roof so they wont get burned to death or build like a "jail" type of place and leave them there, however, when I go to sleep and wake up they are no longer there.

This is due to a chunk border bug where if you unload chunks containing entities in between chunks they get deleted

i’ve lost like 5 or more villagers in my village farm from my server, possibly from despawning, even they’re completely occupied on beds and jobs, and have name tags on them and are 100% safe from zombies, they started to dissappear when me and my friends are far away from my base, and it gets annoying that i’ve lost most of my essential villager.

@Min did you nametag them/give them an item to hold? By default mobs disappear (despawn) if you leave them alone for a while or when you go far away. Despawning in this case would be normal behaviour.

Other despawning issues when they are not supposed to despawn are likely tracked at MCPE-21416 or the bugs linked there.

Yes! I've had the same issue! I've had about 20 villagers despawn from my world even while on peaceful mode. I am in the latest release.

Villagers are not the only entities of mine that are being deleted! Player-created iron golems and fed animals, as well as tamed horses have been disappearing on my realm. Each of these should never despawn, and yet they are.

Even named mobs are disappearing! Villagers linked to stations and beds, that I've traded with to the top level are disappearing as well.

@Shuminator I think that must be the issue, because mobs that are not in 1x1 holes are the ones despawning for me.

Please note also that naturally spawned mobs will also despawn when you get far enough away from them unless they are nametagged or interacted with in specific ways.
