The concept or theory so far is:
It may start at a different family branch with Frans Peter Hubert Sindorff (1843-1905) who married 1. Elisabeth Hubertina Bloemen (1820-1905), remarried Laurens Linssen (1817-1895) and Frans married 2. Josephina Maria Hubertina Thissen (1849-x) ("Josje or Jantje")
From this marriage (1):
Guillaume François Hubert Sindorff, also Willem Frans Hubert Sindorff (1869-x)
François Hubert Sindorff, also Frans Hubert Sindorff (1871-x)
In records: Ch La BE-act 5859 (BE-1870/NL-1871), poss. relation : Josephina M.H. Thissen: married 2,1881. Is Lourens Sindorff their son? Josephina the spinster?
Jean Hubert Sindorff (1876-x),

This is the brother of Frans Peter Hubert named Jean, Jan Caspar Hubert Sindorff (1845-1923), the son of Willem Antoon Hubert Sindorff (1811-1889). This may indication the family ties already in Haarlem.
