If you could be a bit more precise about the brothers' birthdates, you might be able to find one of them in the 1930 US census, if he had emigrated before then.
There is this entry -- I'm not subscribed for US databases at Ancestry, so it showed me only what I guessed right (i.e. place of birth England or Wales):
Stephen R Morris
(name of spouse or parent)
(city name), Essex, NJ
born: abt 1906, England
For Stephen Morris-s born 1900-1910 in Pontypridd, there isn't a Stephen R specifically.
For William Morris-s in the 1930 US census born 1900-1910 in England or Wales, there are over dozen, 4 of whom are recorded as born specifically in Wales.
For Canada, searching is much more difficult, because all records -- birth (1909), marriage (1924), death (1934), census (1911) -- are considered to be "personal information" and kept confidential for much longer -- the years in brackets are the cutoff dates for which Ontario info is currently available, e.g. I searched marriages up to 1924 in Ontario, but there is no record for Stephen or William.
Records for each province have to be searched separately, and only a few of them are available on line. If you do want to search other provinces for marriages, google
"british columbia" "vital statistics"
manitoba "vital statistics"
saskatchewan "vital statistics"
and you should find sites to search at. I'd try to get specific information about their birthdates first.
Marriage info is about the only thing you could possibly find for Canada -- unless, of course, they married in the UK before emigrating. Whether the marriage info would get you anywhere ... depends on the wife's surname, and whether it is unusual enough you might find family of hers in the vicinity of the marriage! Morris, probably a little too common a name to track down today.

Phyllis May Morris
I am looking for relations to phyllis (my gran) born 1908, pontypridd, wales. She had brothers stephen and william, older than her, who both emigrated to the usa and canada (dont know which is which). Never kept in touch.
A sister rachel b.1913 and another sister who died young and is buried in weston supermare.
Her parents were william morris 1877, wales and sarah davies 1880, wales. William was something to do with boxing booths in england and rugby. They owned/managed a pub in doncaster.
Sarahs parents were ben davies c.1845 and rachel c.1830.
Any help would be useful as this is all i know.
