Daniel Lichtblau,
Thanks for your help.

I have another more difficult problem.
I came up with a new type of sequence:
a[n]=f[n]*a[n-4]/(n*(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3))

f[n_Integer] = Module[{a}, a[n] /. RSolve[{a[n] == 2*a[n - 1] - a[n
- 2] + 1, a[0] == 1, a[1] == 2}, a[n], n][[1]] // FullSimplify]
(1/2)(2 + n + n^2)
Rationalize[N[Table[f[n], {n, 0, 25}], 100], 0]
{1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 22, 29, 37, 46, 56, 67, 79, 92, 106, 121, 137, 154, 
172,
191, 211, 232, 254, 277, 301, 326}
Clear[a]
a[n_] := a[n] = f[n]*a[n - 2]/(n*(n - 1)*(n - 2)*(n - 3)); a[0] = 1; 
a[1] = 1; a[2] = 1; a[3] = 1;
Table[a[n + 2]*Gamma[n + 3]*Gamma[n + 1]/2, {n, 0, 30}]
{1, 3, 11, 48, 242, 1392, 8954, 64032, 501424, 4290144, 39612496, 394693248,

56370049555451842781504262619136}
I had to move it up two terms or the Gammas give it Infinities.

Your solution before when I get the powers right does work,
but I can't compute it on my machine:
it doesn't work. It gives an alternative method for my A123025 sequence!
