Instead of using "$(this).parent().parent().find(':checkbox')", is

Go up the hierarchy (regardless of how many parents there are) until
the first <a> is found, then give me a list of all the checkboxes that
are the descendants of the <div> right after the <a>.
Unfortunately, given your markup, you can't do that, since <a> is not
an ancestor of $(this). It's a previous sibling of one of the ancestor
<div>s.
Leonardo's suggestion to give the wrapper div a class name is what I'd
also suggest. You could then use .closest('div.wrapper') as he
recommends, or .parents('div.wrapper:first')
