It has:

THOMAS.
Hugh Morgan, August.21st, at Waldron, Canada, late of Sutton Farm, Llandow

Thanks. The rootsweb site is the one I found. don't know if he is the same one . It's such a common name I was hoping if I could find the record I could get more information. The one I'm looking for was born around 1879

As the newspaper has his u k address and they were a large well-to -do family I am surprised that it would be umarked . . but it was the other side of the world .

I wonder which one of these is yours?

SK BMDs are closed for 100/75/70 y.
Your death is over 70y ago, so is available in theory.
However, the online index only goes up to 1917 at present.

It would be Bridgend Glamorgan one.

1871-1901 was within 1 day of UK census day; later census nominal days were 24/6/1906 and 1/6/1911-1921.

I couldn't find your Hugh in 1901, nor 1921.

The addy worked like lat & longitude, but in 6m wide strips.
The Township measured the northing, counting from the US border.
The Range measured (usually) the westing from the previous meridian.
The 2nd, 3rd and 4th meridians were at Long 102, 106, 110 deg W.
110 is the AB-SK border; 102 is the SK-MB border in the north - in the S it is between R29 W1M and R30 W1M.
