How are you setting showforfamilymember ?

If you do it like this it should work 

var showforfamilymember = false;

if you have the value stored let's say in some string "myValue"

var showforfamilymember = (myValue.toLowerCase() === 'true');

Hope it works

Try using .prop() instead of .attr()

txtshowforfamilymember.prop("checked", showforfamilymember);
