We should add some other property(through object identification) which uniquely identifies each checkbox. If there are no other properties which uniquely identify the object and the number of items is fixed, I guess you can use "index".

There are different ways which can be applied to such cases like:-
1. Siblings identification where in you can put index, location, etc,
Best way is to inspect the element with firebug(plugin of Firefox) and then identify the same element with Selenium IDE(plugin and play-capture tool of Firefox browser) which will automatically provide you multiple locator option for same element

In such cases mostly there will be index attribute that will associated with the checkbox. Recorder will record using that. Or they can also be identified using the parent table ID and then using column numbers
