Is this what you want?

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var cb = FindControlByAttribute<HtmlInputCheckBox>(this.Page, "attr-ID", "111");

}
public T FindControlByAttribute<T>(Control ctl, string attributeName, string attributeValue) where T : HtmlControl
{
    foreach (Control c in ctl.Controls)
    {
        if (c.GetType() == typeof(T) && ((T)c).Attributes[attributeName]==attributeValue)
        {
            return (T) c;
        }
        var cb= FindControlByAttribute<T>(c, attributeName, attributeValue);
        if (cb != null)
            return cb;
    }
    return null;
}
