    Then you must be using an earlier full backup and not the current one from the latest 10:30 backup.

    This.

    A backup that starts at 10:30 and finishes at 11:30 may well need the tran log backup from 10:00 and the one from 11:00 (plus all later), but it could not need any from before that.

    Appreciate that but if the 10pm transaction log was still to recent to restore to the 10:30pm full backup then I assumed that the full backup is ealier in the transaction log chain, possibly from the night before
